The local controversy around the Cuban salsero Paulito FG seems not to have aim. Wednesday the Miami-Dade County decided to suspend the concert of the controversial artist arguing who the promotional company Entertaiment Fire did not fulfill the requirement to ask for the permission with 120 days of anticipation to the date of the event.

Nevertheless, the cubanoamericano industralist Hugo Cancio, president Entertaiment Fire, said that this measurement never has existed and that the requirements of the local authorities ``establish solely that the permissions must be transacted with 45 days of antelación' '.

Paulito FG --resident in Cuba-- it had to participate next to local artists in a programmed musical festival for 1ro of February in the park Amelia Earhart, to the east of Hialeah. The activity was going to also reunite in the scene to Manolín " The Doctor of the Salsa' ' and other groupings of Miami and Puerto Rico.

The New Herald tried to obtain a direct explanation of the authorities on the dispositions that regulate the public activities in the parks, that are under the condal administration. But Edith Towers, spokesman of the Department of Parks and Recreation, said that it had to investigate the case before offering an answer. Answer of the office of the commissioner of Miami-Dade was not received either, Natasha Seijas, that made the suspension public of the concert.

Nevertheless, in declarations to the local television, Seijas needed that the proceedings realised by Entertaiment Fire to obtain the approval do not adjust to the law of the county, that indicates that " any event that is developed in a public enclosure, mainly regional, must be transacted with 120 days of anticipación' '.

Cancio detailed that the arguments of the county are improbable, because " in no form it says that 120 days for trámite' are needed; '. " We put under documents the 16 of December of the 2008, that is to say, 47 days before the event. The requirements have been changed like a reaction to the announcement of the festival. Until the moment I have not been informed officially into the suspension, but really it is truth, we are going to raise a legal demand against condado' ' , it maintained Cancio.

Entertaiment fire --been in Miami Lakes-- it had already received the approval of the direction of the park Amelia Earhart, and had made corresponding contracts for the services of the police and the insurances required by the organization.

The concert of Paulito FG is part of one nourished musical agenda that includes/understands other two functions of the singer in the United States: in Miami Lakes and Tampa, days 30 and 31 of January. The singer visited Miami November the past and opened an avalanche of controversies, after to declare in a televising program that respected and thought in Fidel Castro, and that the prevailing system in Cuba had allowed him to realise all artistic dreams.

Cancio argued that the dispositions of the county are absurd and assured to have tests that in local festivales recent dates they have been carried out with requests processed in 15, 20 and 30 days of anticipation. " The last event that I supported, the Festival of the Reggaetón, was approved in 22 days.

Now the lawyers of the county say that they realized of which that law of 120 days always existed. What chance! … then it means that all the activities that were realised in the 2008 were ilegales' ' , Cancio abounded.

The controversy also dragged the mayor of Hialeah, Julio Robaina, who questioned the presentation of the Cuban salsero in his city by the difficulties that could represent for the security of their neighbors. " I know that the unique reason of organizing this concert in Hialeah is for causing. But never I have said that it was not going to cancel nor to come up, but to guarantee the protection of the residents of Hialeah' ' , it limited the mayor.

Robaina clarified that its administration did not press so that the condales authorities suspended the event, but advised to that the papers were reviewed to clear any doubt on the police monitoring. The determination of the Miami-Dade county to make merit the requirement of 120 days could bring surprises in the judicial scope.

The incident is already being analyzed by the American Union of Libertades Civiles (ACLU), in order to determine if the county has demanded the same rules to the organizers of local events. In the 2000, Cancio next to other industralists and cultural institutions endorsed by the ACLU gained a demand against the Miami-Dade county and down threw a decree that prohibited to the local artistic groups the request of bottoms public for activities related to Cuba.
